This database includes a selected compilation of statutes, regulations, and FCA Board policy guidance applicable to the Farm Credit System, the FCA, and the Farm Credit System Insurance Corporation (FCSIC). The materials in this database are compiled for the convenience of persons who are subject to, or otherwise have an interest in, its contents.
The documents in this database are not the official publication of the statutory and regulatory materials contained herein. The sources for the official publication of regulations are the Federal Register and the Code of Federal Regulations. The sources for the official publication of statutory provisions are the Statutes at Large and the United States Code. If there are any inconsistencies between an official publication of statutory or regulatory materials and those same materials available here, the official publication is controlling.
The information in this database is updated periodically; however, new materials and amendments to existing materials are effective in accordance with their effective dates, as published in the Federal Register. Persons subject to these regulations or statutes have the responsibility to apprise themselves of new or amended regulations and/or statutes as they are officially promulgated.
Comments about the contents of this database, or on specific regulatory issues are always welcome, and may be submitted electronically to reg-comm@fca.gov.
The FCA Handbook is now available in two formats — this searchable online database, which has been offered at no cost on this Web site since May 2000, and now in PDF format also at no cost.
Beginning in October 2006, FCA discontinued offering paid subscriptions for printed copies of the FCA Handbook. The availability of the Handbook in PDF format replaces the paid subscription offering.
To help you keep abreast of the latest changes to the FCA Handbook, we have added several enhancements.
- Notification alerts of changes are posted on the FCA Web site front page under Latest Updates.
- An Update Notices view has been added that will be revised monthly.
- Links to cross references in the text of the FCA Handbook have been added to the searchable database version.
